The brim - Just received this hat yesterday (thanks desertcart Prime for free 2-day shipping). CONSTRUCTION / MATERIALS: This hat appears to be very well made. The two-piece crown has black cloth tape wrapping the inside seam so if your head happens to bump it it's not scratchy. The back seam does not, but it lays flat and didn't seem to be a problem. All the stitching seems good. The brim, being made of a stitched layer of both the solid material underneath and the mesh topside, is pretty rigid; it flexes but seems to return to shape. The mesh sides crush but also seem to return to shape; repeated crushing might eventually cause rippling. The crown comes with a nice, moderate dent on top, and due to the crown's construction, it seems like it will hold this shape. STYLE: I wanted a ventilated hat that offers more shade from the sun than a ball cap, yet doesn't look like a floppy gardening hat, and this fits the bill. Resembling a fedora, it's more stylish than most casual hats but not overly dressy. The leather chinstrap with wooden bead gives it a western touch without being a full-on cowboy hat. You won't really be able to shape this hat with your own pinches, dents, brim curls, etc., but why would you want to... it's already a nice shape, and probably the best shape for doing its job of keeping the sun off your face, neck and ears. VENTILATION: The mesh lets in plenty of air; I can feel a breeze through it even just walking through the house. The sweatband was comfortable but felt a little warm, so any sweating from wearing this hat would be caused there. COLOR: The "Earth" color is a nice medium brown just like the photo (at least on my screen); pretty neutral, not chocolate brown but also not orangey or reddish. Due to the color variations in the canvas weave of the top / band / brim edging, I can see this hat matching a variety of medium-brown-shaded clothing well. The solid top and mesh sides of the crown match color with each other probably better than the picture shows. Some of the other color choices for this hat almost made it look two-toned, and I didn't want that. The reason for the apparent shade variation between the two pieces is probably more due to the fact that the holes in the mesh make the side look darker, while the solid top piece reflects more light. To test, I put a piece of white paper behind the mesh; the mesh and canvas looked almost identical in color. Can't say for the other color options, but Earth's materials are close enough to not be an obnoxious contrast. SIZING: This is my only regret, but unless you order hats with true hat sizes it's always going to be a guess. I ordered the XL based on Henschel's size comparison chart. I measured my head circumference at 23-1/2". Maybe I measured at the wrong spot or angle, or maybe Henschel's sizes vary from hat to hat, but this one is snug on me. I can wear it, but all-day wear might be uncomfortable. If it relaxes after some wearing, I'll be OK; but if it shrinks even a bit, I'm in trouble. I probably measured my head wrong, because a 7-3/4 usually fits comfortably if not a little loose. I think I'll reorder as an XXL, and put some narrow padding behind the sweatband. Find a chart that compares circumference with hat sizes alongside S/M/L sizes to get a good idea. OTHER: The bead seems to hold its place, but I'd definitely put a knot in the chinstrap below the bead to avoid losing it. OVERALL: This is a great casual hat that provides excellent ventilation and good shade from the sun. Measure your head carefully; if you're between sizes, go up. Review: Well satisfied - I hadn't had it long enough to say how well it will hold up. But I like it much. I ordered a medium. I wear a 7 1/8" hat. It fit me perfectly. Its much cooler than any brim hat I've had. I love the style also. I have the natural color one & looks good. I guessed it would be better if in the direct sun shine. I will likely order another one of these hats in the near future. Construction of hat looks good & operated as intended for me. I just ordered a second one. Very satisfied. ## Features - 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐃 π‹π„π†π€π‚π˜ : Since 1947, Henschel has been a trusted name in headwear, crafting hats with a focus on durability, comfort, and timeless design.

I have a hat sizer that holds my shape. **Q: If my head measures 23-1/2 to 23-5/8 should I get a large or extra large? Thank you** A: I would suggest an XL and maybe the use of a little hat tape. A large is about 23" and an XL is about 23 7/8" **Q: Does this hat have a Cool Max band?** A: I have 3 of these hats and all of them have a head band inside but im not sure what a cool max band is? Wish i could upload a pic for you to see inside for yourself. **Q: What is the head size of a large** A: I can only say that I'm a 7 3/8 and XL is marginally too big. I'm guessing 7 3/8 would be snug in L and smaller head size would be comfortable. (XL is wearable for me, I put a bandana or headband on underneath for sweaty work.) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the stitching seems good.

I fish and this hat keeps the sun off, protects me from getting sunburn and open weave design let the cool air in. Not a hat for a rain storm because you’re definitely going to get wet through the open weave design, however, on the flip-side the large brim all the way around will keep your face dry. ## Frequently Bought Together - Henschel Aussie Mesh Breezer Hat - Packable Sun Protection for Outdoor Activities.
